Nadja is pursuing a Bachelor’s degree in order to become a chemical dependency counselor. She currently works part-time with women at a residential treatment center and plans to become a full-time counselor upon completing her certification. As a single mother, Nadja says the JRF scholarship has been a huge relief to her financial burden. In addition to benefiting her and her family, Nadja says,
